We tested it on a physics/gravity question, o1-preview passes it while o1-mini fails with the same results as GPT-4o.

[OpenAI @OpenAI]

We're releasing a preview of OpenAI o1—a new series of AI models designed to spend more time thinking before they respond.

These models can reason through complex tasks and solve harder problems than previous models in science, coding, and math. https://t.co/peKzzKX1bu
